Blurb: Designing homes is easy. Finding home is something else entirely.

Thomas Elkin and Cooper Jones finally have the support of their families together, and their love grows stronger every day. Now living together, they thought nothing could stand in their way.

But there are outside influences trying to pull them apart.
Cooper encounters a man, closer to his age and with connections high up the property development chain. Tom encounters discrimination and a hidden agenda from a fellow senior-partner.

No matter what the world throws at them, Tom and Cooper are the real deal. Age differences aside, Tom has finally found his sense of place. His one true center, his home.

I have been a big fan of this series from pretty much the get go.  Each time I start one, I find myself giving a great big sigh of happiness as everything I love about these characters comes rushing back in the first few pages.  This installment was no different.  I absolutely love Tom and Cooper together and have never had much of an issue with their age difference.  They share amazing chemistry and fabulous dialog.  Tom is super sexy and sweet, and Cooper is such a character – funny, sexy and sweet all wrapped in one.  Their relationship is still going strong and seems to be moving forward with little difficulty, though they are dealing with the added pressure of work and family issues.

Speaking of work issues, Tom has a few to deal with, just as Cooper picks up a contract requiring long hours and dedication.  Having been in Cooper’s shoes, Tom is ever the understanding partner.  Trouble comes by way of Cooper’s client, who puts the pressure on Cooper to be more than professional.  There is a bit of tension surrounding this, and Tom and Coop deal with it the same way they have everything else, with Tom making unintentional mistakes, and Coop waiting him out for him to do things properly.  This is one of the things I love about these guys, and they do it consistently throughout this book, as well as the rest of the series.

So, if you’ve read this far, you must love Tom and Coop, as I do.  I thoroughly enjoyed this installment and savored every chapter, knowing it was nearing the end of their story.  This series has been such an enjoyable and entertaining read, and I’m just not ready to say goodbye.  I sure hope we get to see some snippets from them in the future.  I highly recommend this for anyone looking for a sexy, sweet, funny, feel-good story.

Overall Impression: It was amazing.

*I purchased my own, personal copy of this book for review.*

One thought on “Book Review: Sense of Place by N.R. Walker

  1. I really enjoyed this series as well. The only little niggling issue for me was that the characters sounded like British expats rather than Americans in quite a few places. Just threw me every once in a while. Regardless, quite a well written story and I too hope we will get glimpses of Tom and Cooper in the future.
